The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

 Just watched this. I picked it up on DVD in a 4 for a pound deal. It is very charming. Filmed in Devon partly I think and there is a scene from Bristol harbour posing as Weymouth.

Directed by Mike Newell and based on the best-selling and much loved novel by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY sees Lily James play free-spirited writer Juliet Ashton, who forms a life-changing bond with the delightful and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey in WWII.
